Hi, I wanted to ask if it is possible to use OpenManipulator-X with Turtlebot4, and also if it can be controlled using ROS2 Humble.
I have seen the same question in the forum but still there is no response.
Thank you!
You can certainly use the OpenMANIPULATOR-X with the TurtleBot4 in ROS2 Humble, however, there’s no official support for this configuration so you may need to do some of the integration yourself.
We do however have a guide for getting the OpenMANIPULATOR-X setup on Humble that should be helpful
Hi,
I have several questions regarding the connection between the TurtleBot4 and the OpenManipulator-X.
From what I understand, the Raspberry Pi can be connected to the OpenCR, which in turn connects to the OpenManipulator-X. However, the firmware upload package only includes the burger, waffle, and turtlebot3_manipulation models.
My question is whether I can use the turtlebot3_manipulation model with only the OpenManipulator-X connected. Specifically, if I send /cmd_vel and /arm_controller/joint_trajectory topics to the RaspeberryPi, and only the OpenManipulator-X is connected, will the OpenCR forward only the arm_controller commands to the manipulator?
Another question is the battery issue. Turtlebot4 has an accesible unregulated battery of 14V and 2A max, is it enough for the OpenManipulator-X or do I have to include an external battery?
Thank you,
